Men in suits emerged from these cars and began walking toward her."Excuse me, miss," one of the men called out, his voice firm and authoritative. "Our boss would like to speak with you."A flicker of hope stirred within Emily as she wondered if perhaps it was Mr. Radcliffe who wanted to see her.

"It's just a simple question, Emily," she replied nonchalantly, her voice dripping with insincerity.

What was she trying to achieve by prying into her personal life?"Why do you care?" Emily shot back, her voice tinged with suspicion. "What do you want to know?"Maria's response was chillingly vague.

She knew she was outnumbered and outmatched, but she refused to cower in fear. With a defiant glare, she braced herself for whatever was to come."Get your hands off me!"

What matters is that I need to speak with you immediately."Eric hesitated, his mind flashing back to their last encounter.

Emily's absence for two days had unsettled them all, casting a shadow of anxiety over their usually peaceful home."She's never done anything like this before," Dolores murmured, her voice trembling with fear. "She always keeps her phone with her, always checks in. Something must be wrong."Mia, Emily's younger sister, nodded in agreement, her usually bright eyes dulled with concern.
